An ethical company but poor training.

Pros

Ethical company. Sincere focus on helping people and serving the communities where it does business.

Cons

Thrivent has the most chaotic and overloaded onboarding/training of any company where I've worked. Company expects new reps to hold prospecting appointments, albeit with seasoned field partners, well before grounding reps with adequate product/solution knowledge. Managers and mentors say the new rep training is like "drinking from a firehose," like this is a badge of honor. Instead, it's an affirmation of how unfocused and self-sabotaging the training actually is. Base salary is in effect through the four-month onboarding period, then compensation transitions to 100 percent commission. For reps who are "solo launching" this is far too little time to build an income-sustaining book of business.
